Larson had pleaded not guilty.Larson and William Arthur Larson Jr. also of Greenville each received two indictments in September for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon-family violence. William Larson was alleged to have threatened Robert Larson and also a female victim with a hammer on August 4. Robert Larson was alleged to have used a pistol to threaten William Larson and another female victim on the same date.

The Hunt County District Attorney’s office filed motions with court Monday seeking to dismiss the two aggravated assault family violence indictments filed against Robert Larson “in the interest of justice.”
